George Clinton: One Nation Under A Groove

George Clinton’s Farewell Tour with Parliament Funkadelic, “One Nation Under a Groove” makes a stop in St. Petersburg this Summer! Joining P-Funk to send this icon of American pop culture off with a BANG are Fishbone, Main Squeeze and Miss Velvet & The Blue Wolf, all of whom are taking time out of their own busy schedules to hit the road with the Grammy-winning, once-rainbow-dreaded pioneer of Funk, Hip Hop, and Rock & Roll. Parliament Funkadelic has been a touring force for decades, and the current lineup including veterans Bennie Cowan (trumpet), Greg Thomas (sax), Lige Curry (bass), and Blackbird McKnight (guitar) have been with George for 30 plus years. Billboard summed up the historic nature of this moment perfectly in their coverage of the retirement announce: “If you want to watch the original master of funk do his thing, you’ve got one more year.”
